Sony adds PS5 upscaling support to six more games

Sony is bringing QSSR graphics upscaling to six more PS5 games, including Control Resonant, Arc Raiders, The Finals, No Man’s Sky and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

The feature is already available in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the standard PS5 through a free update.

QSSR uses AI to improve image detail and clarity, and is a less powerful version of the upscaling technology on the PS5 Pro.

In Spider-Man 2, it works in both Fidelity and Performance modes, while Sony says it can improve visuals without affecting performance.

The updates are due at different times: Control Resonant is expected in December, and No Man’s Sky in a few weeks, while dates for several other games have not been given.

The upgrade matters because it could improve graphics on existing PS5 consoles without new hardware.

Sony’s six-year-old console has sold more than 100 million units, and QSSR may help extend its life before the next PlayStation generation.
